Council seeks quotes to fix Main Street puddle and presses county on 296th Street repairs
Summary
Councilors said 296th Street is county responsibility and discussed soliciting quotes for a stormwater catch basin to resolve persistent Main Street flooding; staff will request bids and follow up with county commissioners regarding the county road.
Councilors discussed recurring resident complaints about 296th Street and a persistent puddle on Main Street and directed staff to pursue further action.
Members said 296th Street is the county’s responsibility and that staff will share documentation with county commissioners and ask them to take corrective action. Separately, councilors described a standing water problem on a curved section of Main Street and noted that a permanent fix would likely require a catch basin and associated pipe work. Staff cited a previous local catch‑basin job with a similar scope that cost roughly $18,000 and said they will solicit quotes from Watson (regular vendor) and at least one other contractor to establish a current estimate.
The council discussed interim fixes (saw‑cutting and targeted pavement work) but agreed that a formal quotation process would be appropriate for a larger drainage installation. Staff will seek estimates and return with recommendations for funding and scheduling.
